I'm only gonna post a few pictures of the removal since it was a boring messy job anyway. Instead I'll post nice ones of the new motor going in.

I just love this part after getting the old nasty motor out. (I'm kidding) So now I have a job within a job if I want the new motor to look halfway decent sitting in there. I also pulled that stock tranny since I have a built TH350 going in there with a 3000 Stall Converter.

The 406 ready to go in.....

As you can see, the tunnel ram is missing. I needed to make sure the cam got broke in properly, so I went ahead and broke it in with this dual plane and a 650 double pumper.

It actually went in pretty easy considering I had no one helping me with it. The only hard part was getting that second motor mount to line up. (Driver side)

So here it is complete after the cam was broke in. Man what a monster this thing is going to be. It was so friggen loud with open headers I couldn't think straight after about 5 minutes. I love it though, it's been about 6 years since I built a nasty little small block with decent HP.

Ok, so here it is 500 miles later, (about 2 weeks worth of driving) and I decided the motor has enough time on it to go ahead and throw the Tunnel Ram on.
.

I just love taking things apart right after I put them together. Oh well, it makes for a clean easy job that only takes about 2 hours.
.
.
Everything's nice and clean inside so we're good to go.
.
.
And......Wah-lah!!! Looks kind of mean even just sitting there.
.
.
Here's what I see from inside the car.
.
.
And here's the first look at it without the hood.
.
.
The hood is on it now but I'm too tired to post anymore pics tonight. I'll post the "hood on" pictures I took tomorrow since it's almost 3:00 in the morning and I'm bushed.
